I love being able to portray a sense of depth and scale/perspective.Taken from a remote research bunker in Etosha, Namibia.

I've posted previous photos in this close-up low-angle series, however they were all processed with an infra-red feel (dark sky, brighter subjects). This one was done leaning more towards "high-key" though it's not a high-key in the strict sense of the term.

Depth, scale/perspective - all achieved! I am not too keen on the white background and the texture on the ele seems a touch too 'crunchy' oversharpened? for me - I'm sure others will disagree, Morkel. I think the natural colour version of this would be better, but that's just me.

I'm oppo on the sky, detail conundrum. I really like the detail standing out against the sky. It feels very 3-dimensional to me and not "crunchy" as in overly sharpened, but "crunchy" as in this dude has some character to his skin. Cool shot and way to create an image outside the box of the normal Africa wildlife posts.
